Ingredients:


- 1 cup of sorghum flour


- 2 cups of water


- 1 tablespoon of sugar


- 1 pinch of salt


- 1 cup of milk


- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract


- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, dried fruits, or honey


Instructions :


Step 1: In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. In the meantime, mix 1 cup of sorghum flour with 1 cup of cold water in a bowl until it forms a smooth paste.


Step 2: Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly add in the sorghum paste while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.


Step 3: Add in 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt to the mixture. This will enhance the flavor of the porridge.


Step 4: Allow the porridge to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reaches a smooth consistency.


Step 5: In a separate pot, heat 1 cup of milk on low heat. Once it starts to simmer, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a delicious aroma.


Step 6: Slowly pour the hot milk into the porridge while continuously stirring. This will make the porridge creamier and richer in flavor.


Step 7: Once all the milk is added, continue to cook the porridge for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.


Step 8: Remove the porridge from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. You can add in your choice of optional toppings such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, or honey at this point.
